• Systems-First Engineering: You prioritize building reliable, scalable systems over experimental scripts. You have a track record of moving AI models out of notebooks and into production environments where latency, cost, and accuracy are treated as first-class citizens.

• Technical Resourcefulness: You are comfortable working in restricted or air-gapped environments. When commercial APIs aren’t an option, you have the expertise to deploy, fine-tune, and optimize open-source models to achieve the mission objective.

• Autonomous Problem Solving: You can take a high-level government requirement and translate it into a technical roadmap. You don't require constant oversight to identify the right tool for a job, whether it’s a specific vector database or a custom multimodal pipeline.

• A "Generalist" Mindset: While you specialize in AI, you understand the full stack. You are as comfortable discussing embedding strategies as you are configuring AWS GovCloud infrastructure or debugging a FastAPI endpoint.

Must-Haves

• Proven experience deploying Production RAG pipelines against real-world, messy datasets.
• Deep expertise in Agentic system design (tool-use, multi-agent orchestration).
• Strong Python engineering skills—writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code
• Experience operating within AWS/GovCloud environments.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience fine-tuning NLP or object detection models.
• Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks (hallucination detection, drift monitoring).
• Knowledge of government security standards and working in different classification environments and on-prem
• Security Clearance: Existing Secret/TS clearance or eligibility is a significant plus.

Your Technical Toolkit

• Languages: Python (expert-level), SQL
• LLM & Agentic Frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar orchestration frameworks
• RAG Stack: Retrieval with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, pgvector), graph databases (Neo4J), Elasticsearch, BM25, and Sentence-Transformers; NLP enrichment with spaCy, GLiNER, and Transformers; optimization using embedding models, reranking pipelines, and DSPy
• Evaluation & Observability: RAGAS, DeepEval, Arize Phoenix, and synthetic annotations
• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, SageMaker, Bedrock, S3, Lambda, Docker, and FastAPI
• Data Processing: Complex pipelines for unstructured and multimodal data, including PDFs, scanned documents, images, and audio.

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll be surrounded by smart, kind, low-ego people who genuinely enjoy building together. We invest in our team with company offsites, best-in-tech swag, and the tools you need to do your best work, wherever you’re based.

We support you holistically, not just at work. For full-time, US-based employees, that includes:

• Health: Medical, dental, and vision coverage through Justworks, effective the 1st of the month following your start date. All medical plans include fertility coverage, plus access to One Medical, Talkspace (12 free therapy sessions a year), Kindbody, and Teladoc. If you waive medical coverage, we pay a $250/month allowance.
• Financial: 401(k) with company match (100% of the first 3% you contribute, 50% of the next 2%), company-paid life insurance, and optional supplemental life, short- and long-term disability, accident, critical illness, and hospital coverage. FSA and HSA options available.
• Equity: Stock options, so you share in what we’re building.
• Time off: Flexible paid time off (unlimited), up to 80 hours of paid sick leave a year, 12 company holidays, and a company-wide winter break between Christmas and New Year’s.
• Family: 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents, available after 6 months, plus up to 6 additional unpaid weeks.
• Remote setup: A $500 home office stipend and a $75/month cell and internet stipend.
• Team: Team and company offsites throughout the year.

We want you focused on building, growing, and staying energized for the long haul. If you’re excited about what we’re building, we’d love to meet you.

Unstructured is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We’re committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive culture where everyone can do their best work.
